History
This is an active 35 year old female who presented with complaints of worsening lower back pain. On examination, her pain limited her range of motion and she had difficulty bending forwards and backwards.
She was followed for over 1 year while she took medication, underwent physical therapy, and pursued other non-operative treatment. Over a period of 12 months she began to experience persistent, unrelenting lower back pain, and complained of sporadic pain in her lower extremities that was at times debilitating.
